About The Project

The weeks before an astronaut is sent into space, they are quarantined to keep them germ and virus free. No one wants a head cold in zero gravity. The moment you'd want most to be with the ones you loved, you can't. You can't touch them. They can't touch you. Your peers seem alien to you, covered in their protective gear.

I am fascinated by science and how we progress as a society because of it. Space represents one of the most spiritual and technological conundrums of human existence. Every step further from Earth we travel, the deeper into science we dig, the deeper inside ourselves we have to look. This quest for answers in the name of science forces us to deal with the residual effects of progress. This is a film about exploration that never takes you to space.

PLANETARY MESSENGER written and autographed by NASA and Blue Marble Scientist Jacob Haaq-Misra!! "Since the dawn of humanity we have gazed at the stars to ponder our existence. To the naked eye the skies are dark and lifeless, but what if, through a glass, we looked to the heavens and saw our mirror image, a twin Earth from afar? If we found our uniqueness shattered in the vast cosmic arena, then what, if anything, could we still hold sacred? A philosophical novel journeying through space, time, and dreams, Planetary Messenger explores the social, scientific, and spiritual consequences of discovering another planet in the galaxy just like our Earth."

OR

ARE WE ALONE AMONG AAAAALL THESE STARS? written and autographed by NASA and Blue Marble Scientist Armando Azua-Bustos!! "A book for kids to introduce them, in very simple terms, to Astrobiology, the understanding of the origin of life on Earth and the possibility of its existence elsewhere in the Universe from the scientific point of view."
